Emergence Pilot Recap: “I Wish I Was Being Paranoid”

Wouldn’t it be more fun to call it Masters of Serial Killing? Michael Sheen stars in Fox’s new murder procedural drama Prodigal Son, and his presence is basically the only thing to recommend about the show.
For its penultimate episode of the season, Fear the Walking Dead once again switches to shooting almost the entire hour in crappy SD video. This is a really gimmicky and frustrating affectation that I hope the show discontinues wh...
The ninth season of American Horror Story, dubbed AHS 1984, has a fun premise and a totally rad opening credits sequence. Will that be enough to sustain another year of a series long past its prime? I’m not sure how confiden...
Fear the Walking Dead gives us a few more details about the mysterious new antagonist group introduced last week, some of which may actually cause more confusion. The show also finds time for a musical number, if you can believe i...

Fear the Walking Dead does what I have to assume is intended as an extended Dawn of the Dead riff this week. More importantly, the show returns to regular high-definition (albeit dull and colorless) photography.
FX’s Legion wrapped up its third and final season this week, and series creator Noah Hawley was allowed to end the story on his own terms. As you’d expect, it gets pretty weird. I’ll do my best to make some sense...
The mid-season hiatus for Fear the Walking Dead was so short this year that I barely even noticed the show was gone. It’s back this week to kick off a new storyline, and to frustrate viewers with an annoying stylistic tic.
A TV series as defiantly weird as AMC’s Preacher couldn’t possibly last forever. For many reasons, the fact that it survived more than a single year is pretty amazing. Back this week for its fourth and officially final...
